haha and i live like 3 hours from yall hhaha im on the other side of the state I'll resurrect this thread. I'm from Keyser also.

Thanks. I thought that was the only difference but I wanted to make sure.

First let me start by saying that I love the sub and it sounds amazing sealed but I really need to build a ported box and was wondering if anyone has the specs for a 12" Level 4 with level 5 upgrade? Is it the same as the regular Lever 4 12? Thanks

Box is already made. 1.2 - 1.25 ft^3 before displacement. Could I add a little poly to make it seem bigger?

I would love to have a nice ported enclosure but its not an option right now. Maybe later down the road if I get a pick up but rught now I haul a lot of tools and other stuff in my car so I need all the room I can get. I know it's not the right application, but I am trying to get as loud as possible with what I have to work with. Any other recommendations? If loud is what I'm going after wouldn't it be better to buy big even if it isn't being used to its potential than to buy okay? At least if I made this purchase and didn't get the fullest out of it, I would still have it for the future instead of being stuck with mediocre. Also, I currently have a 12" IA Flatlyne that is still in perfect shape. I just wanted to give DC a try. I have heard nothing but good from them.

ehh kinda, depends on the set up and knowledge of the user. What size lvl 4 are you using? a 10? It would be a 12" powered by a AP15001D. Gains set with a DMM not by ear.

Going to be ordering a DC level 4 with Level 5 upgrades and put it in a sealed enclosure. I don;t have any other option besides sealed because I need as much space as possible. The box I will be putting it in is a custom fiberglass box that will fot in my factory sub location. The box is ~1.2 Ft ^ 3 before displacement. I have up to 1500w and want to get loud while remaining some sq, not much but some. Has anyone ran one of these subs sealed or heard one sealed? If so how did it sound and perform? Please chime in with any other info you think I should know!

Eventually I will do some upgrades, probably nothing more than big 3 and a better battery. Don't really want to have to worry about the Alt, etxra batteries etc., if I don't have to. I will still consider my options. What are some other decent budget amps that put out 1600 @ 1 for around the same price $236 shipped? *Edit* I am just looking for a decent daily driver setup. Not looking to win competitions...yet.

Well I have a Hifonics Brutus Bxi1210D that puts out 1200 @ 1. It has been a good amp so I was looking at getting a Bxi1610d doing 1600 @ 1. I would love to do 2000 but fear the stock electrical might not like it too much. 1,600 is a rang I would be comfortable with until I can do an electrical upgrade, if I choose to go that far.

Thanks for the replys. I actually looked at the Fi subs and liked what I saw (online). I'm from a small town so unless its JL or RF I have every limited access to other brands. I know the Fi Q is rated at 1000w but how would it perform on ~600-800 if I decided to go with 2 12's.

New to the forum but trying to get some answers. I usually post on CA but can't seem to get any answers and if I do you usuall need to plow through the crap to find any useful information. Not that I do not like the people there, there are some really knowledgable people who are happy to help, but you all seem to be a little more willing to share information, so here goes. Was looking at 2 10's, 2 12's, or a single 15 all in a ported box. Want something that can get low but still geared more for SQ. Can you still manage to get decent sq out of a 15, or should I look more at 10's or 12's for that? If I can manage a 15 and still have SQ, throw out some suggestions for some drivers if you do not mind, I was looking at the *** trash. If I should go with 10's or 12's, please list some that can get low while retaining SQ. I'm looking for a 15 or 10's/12's that can handle 1200 - 1600w. Have 1,200 now but might purchase a new amp. I do not want to go over 1,600 on stock electrical. (I have a Durango, figure stock alt should handle this just fine, correct me if wrong) Question about amp resistance (sorry if a noob question, just trying to figure this out): If an amp is 1 ohm stable it can handle say 1.5 ohm load, correct? How do you fiqure the power for a load like that? If it did say, 600w @ 2 ohm, 1,200w @ 1 ohm, would it do 900w @ 1.5ohms? Thanks for any help and any flames associated!
